Movie review - "Phantom of the Paradise" (1974) ***

 Famous cult film/disaster/oddity is great fun once you switch into its rhythm. Paul Williams is an excellent villain, Swan, who rips off the Phantom. There's some neat twists like Swan knows the identity of the phantom all along.

Jessica Harper is fun as the girl, there's some unfortunate homophobia, funky songs, and a mood of anarchy and love of old movies.
